buy your own parts from say nengun / rhdjapan / justjap etc etc and then get your mechanic to put them in, save yourself alot of $$

might take 2 or 3 weeks for parts to arrive but damn you can save alot of $$

Have a quick search through the Vic section - searching with "workshops".

You'll soon work out who the common ones that people use are, and those that generally are places you steer clear of.

Or you could also read the Sticky Thread in this section that has Workshops listed that most SAU people use and trust... The workshops that don't make it in there, I wouldn't be using personally.

That drift sales group is a bit of a lol, ethics people are talking crap, time wasters or just fan boys.

I've asked a few people about parts they're 'selling' and it goes no where, same with people who are apparently after parts.

But yeah I saw that handwritten 'invoice' too haha, good gags. Curious too as to what this Nismo performance center is haha.

This one? I lold hard.

Hahaha yeah

Yeah they are hopeless, I just left they just troll the page usually

Is this the place in thomastown? If so it's the same one that was on sunshine ave. Without getting into too much detail, i highly recommend that nobody takes their car to Freddy.

This, however there are people that are strong unaware of Freddy still and still take cars there

$500 for a wheel alignment and $700 for a catch can? That the piece of paper says $7000 owing is a bit concerning...means someone has actually paid for most of this if the paper is legit?

lol @ stage 2 anything, f**k off with the NFS Underground shit.

LOL worst

then the price for turbo is only $1750 which is reasonable if it's a Garrett or similar

Yeah lol. Love the notes on the side listing all the "free" shit. It's weird that some of the stuff is reasonably priced, others are simply ridiculous.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
